Normandy American Cemetery: Rows of Remembrance

A poignant view of the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

This powerful photograph captures the profound sense of peace and remembrance that pervades the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Rows upon rows of white crosses, perfectly aligned, stand as silent sentinels over the fallen, stretching across a vast, immaculately kept green lawn. The close-up of one cross, bearing the inscription 'EDWARD W. MILLS MASSACHUSETTS JUNE 6 1944', personalizes the immense scale of loss and sacrifice. The image evokes a deep sense of respect and solemnity, inviting reflection on the cost of freedom and the enduring legacy of those who served. The trees in the background frame the scene, adding a touch of natural serenity to this hallowed ground. Ideal for collections featuring historical sites, war memorials, and images that evoke reflection and remembrance. The location, Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooks Omaha Beach, one of the landing beaches of D-Day. This is a landscape image, but it could also be considered in a historical or memorial category.
